Yeap. When he was in the primaries I thought to myself "No way he stays in". I always thought Clinton would crush him. Republicans were endorsing her over Trump. I figured no way in the world he will make it.

I also didn't see that happening. I was so sure Clinton would win. I'm Canadian so I didn't know anyone personally that was voting and wasn't too invested..but the majority of what I saw on the internet was for Clinton, but alas that's just a select few people right? A lot of my friends were really into watching the election, and two of them specifically were convinced Trump was going to win, arguing that people felt censored by political correctness and he was the face of destroying that. I was super shocked when I woke up the next morning.

I stand here, at the end of 2016, in the verge of total financial collapse. Only thing that has been carrying me for the past couple of weeks have been sudden payments from my former employer due to changes in our contracts that effect former employees, savings (which are burned out), some friends lending me money and risking credit maneuvers.

I hope that I get a job soon, or it will be a complete end of me at the age of 23, going into 24 next month.

Also, this has thought me a valuable lesson, and that is who are truly your friends in the end.

I hope things turn around for you. I lost my job in Jan & had 3 months of court, I've been diagnosed with depression on top of a chronic illness I've had for 35 years. I have no friends & only my mum knows the truth of things.

You're right you definitely find out who real friends are when you're in the shit.

Never thought high school would be so stressful considering how easy middle school was. Oh boy, adulthood! To anyone who has already gone through the transition from student to adult employee, any tips?
